I'm experiencing some discomfort due to eating spicy food. It's causing pain in my rectum, especially at the tip of my anus, and it's making bowel movements really painful. My digestion feels off and I can't seem to have a proper motion. Could you recommend a specialist who might be able to help with these symptoms?

View allCan acid reflux cause heart palpitations? I've been dealing with really bad acidity and it's freaking me out a bit. My GP suggested some tests like an echo, echocardiogram, and blood tests but everything came back normal. Is it possible that the acid reflux could be causing the palpitations or should I be worried about something else?
Yes, acid reflux can cause palpitations. When stomach acid irritates the esophagus, it can lead to discomfort and sensations that may make you feel like your heart is racing or skipping beats. Anxiety and worry about these symptoms can also contribute to palpitations. Since your ECG, echo, and blood tests all came back normal, it's reassuring that there's likely no underlying heart condition causing your palpitations. Managing your acid reflux through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly medications as prescribed by your doctor can help alleviate these symptoms. If your palpitations persist or worsen, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

My mom is 62 and was diagnosed with a 13 mm gallstone last month. Her total bilirubin level just came back at 5.9 today and she's feeling extremely weak can barely stand. We're planning surgery next month but what tests or steps should we take now to bring her bilirubin levels down?
Given her high bilirubin level (5.9) and symptoms, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Her elevated bilirubin level, along with the 13mm gallstone, strongly suggests a potential issue with bile flow and possibly a blockage. The next steps involve confirming the cause, managing any complications, and preparing her for surgery

I'm feeling pretty nervous lately, and I'm not sure why. About a week ago, I went to a gastro specialist because I was really bloated. I noticed the bloating happens whenever I have dairy products, which is still an issue now. I've attached my blood test results, and they show that my LDL and NON-HDL levels are high. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take?
From your blood test results showing high LDL and NON HDL levels, along with your symptoms of bloating and nervousness, it is important to address your cholesterol levels and digestive issues. To lower your LDL and NON HDL levels, I recommend starting a medication called Atorvastatin. Additionally, since you are experiencing bloating with dairy products, you can try taking a lactase enzyme supplement like Lactaid before consuming dairy to help with digestion. It is also advisable to follow a low-cholesterol diet and engage in regular physical activity to improve your overall health. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.
